Anyway, after the first of nine months ( about 5 matches per month) we are 22nd with 4 points. Obviously the league table at this stage is meaningless and we may be at the other end of the table come the end of the seasonIt is a fact, an amazing one, that Exeter were 24th on 19 Nov last year, but finished up 5th closely losing out to Blackpool in the Wembley play-offs final.

There has been a debate on other threads about how many points we need to stay in at least 22nd place at the end of the season. Clearly this depends on the results of other teams, especially Barnet, Crewe, Chesterfield and Morecambe, although Grimsby are currently on a nasty slide as well.

7 more wins would almost certainly see safety (50 points), but 5 wins and two draws ( 46 points) may be enough this season.

Thanks to Kentstripe for the tabulation below, recording the points attained by those in 23rd place at the end of the season.In other words the higher of the two teams relegated.

We’re a club that looks to the future, but our identity is forged from a rich 128-year history. Founded in 1889, we’re one of the oldest football clubs in the world.

In 2017, we were promoted to the Football League for the first time in our history – which means we can spread our sustainability message to an even bigger audience.
